Michael Shackelford first wrote down the words ''FUTURE'' and ''ELEVATORS'' a few years ago on a rough instrumental demo The music never grew into a finished song, but that simple, surprisingly evocative phrase stuck It's an apt phrase for one of Birmingham's most original musical acts Shackelford the group's founder, mainstay, and guiding creative force is something of a pop confectioner who thinks up impossible sounds and makes them a reality His self-titled debut as Future Elevators expertly mixes whimsy and gravity, the fantastical with the everyday Even as he grounds his lyrics in real-world issues, he fills his songs with new and improbable combinations of familiar sounds: the jagged pastoral folk of ''Alabama Song,'' the Rube Goldberg blues riffs of ''Machine Maker,'' the retro-futuristic r&b of ''Modern World,'' the warm drone of the ten-minute instrumental closer ''Aphrodite'' Shackelford spent a year piecing his debut album together

Start Time(s):

New Orleans Suspects released their third full-length studio recording, Kaleidoscoped, on CD and vinyl in September on Louisiana Red Hot Records to rave reviews and substanial airplay on blues radio
New Orleans Suspects brings together some of the best, most highly respected players in New Orleans including; Mean Willie Green on drums (Neville Bros); Jeff Watkins on saxophone (James Brown Band, Joss Stone Band); Jake Eckert on guitar/vocals (Dirty Dozen Brass Band); CR Gruver on keyboards and vocals (Polytoxic, Outformation) and Charlie Wooton (Royal Southern Brotherhood) on bass guitar
Kaleidoscoped takes a variegated look at roots music, funk and traditional New Orleans music through a colorfully distorted lens, creating a sound described as "psychedelic funk" The 8 tracks include a plethora of special guests including: Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett of Little Feat; Golden Commanche Big Chief Juan Pardo; and more The opening tracks, "Let's Get it Started" and "Cocaine Jane" feature Jeff Watkins and Grammy Award winner Jake Eckert at the peak of their powers of studio wizardry On these tracks, they utilize Tower of Power horn veterans as well as a Leslie speaker cabinet and newer, electronic effects to great advantage The album sequencing devolves into twisted looks at such traditional Louisiana genres as Cajun swamp pop ("You Got the Fire" and "Creole Hannah"), Mardi Gras Indian Funk ("Round Up Dem Suspects," with call and response led by Pardo), plus a trip through a pastiche of Southern rock, Dr John-style R&B and traditional jazz A slight outlier of a track, "Dixie Highway" was written by Paul Barrere for Little Feat; he and Fred Tackett add guitar/vocals and mandolin, respectively, for a New Orleans feel the listener might imagine Little Feat having searched for, but never located

Dashing Through The Snow
By Jones, Hope, and Wooten Directed by Donna Love
From the writing team who brought us Dearly Departed, Dixie Swim Club, and Mama Wont Fly! It's four days before Christmas in the tiny town of Tinsel, Texas, and a colorful parade of eccentric guests arrive at the Snowflake Inn and deck the halls with holiday hilarity A brother and sister make the mistake of trying to end a thirty-year feud between their curmudgeonly aunts with sidesplitting results Two self-involved actors from a lower-than-low-budget touring production of A Christmas Carol, descend on the Inn to fulfill a promise, leaving comedic chaos in their wake Add to this Yuletide mayhem an ill-advised romantic rendezvous between Mrs Claus and one of Santa's elves Then top off the madness with a spur-of-the-moment Christmas Eve wedding which takes a surprising and delightful turn that leads to a laugh-'til-your-sides-ache climax, changing all their lives forever You'll swear this family-friendly Jones/Hope/Wooten Christmas comedy is more fun than a joyride in a one-horse open sleigh!

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date He is a man who can count all his friends on the fingers of one hand, whose lifelong difficulty with social rituals has convinced him that he is simply not wired for romance So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a wonderful husband, his first reaction is shock Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and he embarks upon The Wife Project In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which he approaches all things, Don sets out to find the perfect partner She will be punctual and logicalmost definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver
Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligentand on a quest of her own She is looking for her biological father, a search that a certain DNA expert might be able to help her with Dons Wife Project takes a back burner to the Father Project and an unlikely relationship blooms, forcing the scientifically minded geneticist to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosieand the realization that love is not always what looks good on paper

Tuesday, January 10, 2017 Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia Life is hell for all the slaves, but especially bad for Cora; an outcast even among her fellow Africans, she is coming into womanhoodwhere even greater pain awaits When Caesar, a recent arrival from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they decide to take a terrifying risk and escape Matters do not go as plannedCora kills a young white boy who tries to capture her Though they manage to find a station and head north, they are being hunted
In Whiteheads ingenious conception, the Underground Railroad is no mere metaphorengineers and conductors operate a secret network of tracks and tunnels beneath the Southern soil Cora and Caesars first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven But the citys placid surface masks an insidious scheme designed for its black denizens And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher, is close on their heels Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom
Like the protagonist of Gullivers Travels, Cora encounters different worlds at each stage of her journeyhers is an odyssey through time as well as space As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors for black people in the preCivil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day The Underground Railroad is at once a kinetic adventure tale of one womans ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shattering, powerful meditation on the history we all share

Experience the thrilling sight of thousands of sandhill cranes, wild geese and ducks plus herons and other birds The Refuge has the largest concentration of wintering geese and ducks in the entire state of Alabama! You dont need to be a bird watcher to enjoy this outing! Experienced birders leading the trip will share their knowledge with all
This 35,000 acre refuge attracts thousands of wintering waterfowl each year WNWR is comprised of diverse habitat types including bottomland hardwoods, wetlands, pine uplands, shoreline or riparian woodlands, agricultural fields, and backwater embayments These habitats provide excellent feeding, resting, and roosting sites for wintering waterfowl, white pelicans, sandhill cranes and a few whooping cranes as well as nesting sites for migratory songbirds and many species of resident wildlife
We are highly privileged to have as our guide Dwight Cooley, the recently retired Refuge Manager Dwight will take us on refuge roads behind locked gates as we drive to various bays and sloughs where you can easily see hundreds of ducks and geese in large numbers Well also see many other types of birds including, hopefully, bald eagles Well even see a huge flock of sandhill cranes which winter at the refuge each year The gated roads are closed to the public but will be open to our group
Please bring binoculars, a birding field guide and a spotting telescope with you if you have them The leader and Dan Frederick will each bring a spotting scope, and the refuge is willing to make available some extra pairs of binoculars to loan to participants on this trip
This outing is rated easy, as there is very little walking involved, and we wont be climbing any hills or walking through thick brush Please dress for the weather The wind at the refuge can be biting, blowing across open water on cold days
Well-behaved, carefully supervised children age 10 and over who can remain quiet for extended periods of time (so as to not disturb the birds and bird watchers) are welcome
Possible optional dinner after the birding trip depending on what time we finish bird watching

Modern Lovers by Emma Straub
May, 2016: 20 print (incl 4 LP), 4 CD, 2 ebook in system (Overdrive has downloadable audio)
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF 2016 SO FAR
Ms Straub writes with such verve & sympathetic understanding of her characters An entertaining novel deftly & thoughtfully written Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Its Friends meets Almost Famous meets the beach read youll be recommending all summer TheSkimm
Straub serves up a perfect slice of the zeitgeist with this entertaining novel about former college bandmates raising their precocious children while grappling with marital tensions & midlife crises People, Named one of "Summer's Best Books"
From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Vacationers, a smart, highly entertaining novel about a tight-knit group of friends from college & what it means to finally grow up, well after adulthood has set in
Friends & former college bandmates Elizabeth & Andrew & Zoe have watched one another marry, buy real estate, & start businesses & families, all while trying to hold on to the identities of their youth But nothing ages them like having to suddenly pass the torch (of sexuality, independence, & the ineffable alchemy of cool) to their own offspring
Back in the band's heyday, Elizabeth put on a snarl over her Midwestern smile, Andrew let his unwashed hair grow past his chin, & Zoe was the lesbian all the straight women wanted to sleep with Now nearing fifty, they all live within shouting distance in the same neighborhood deep in gentrified Brooklyn, & the trappings of the adult world seem to have arrived with ease But the summer that their children reach maturity (and start sleeping together), the fabric of the adult lives suddenly begins to unravel, & the secrets & revelations that are finally let looseabout themselves, & about the famous fourth band member who soared & fell without themcan never be reclaimed
Straub packs wisdom & insight & humor together in a satisfying book about neighbors & nosiness, ambition & pleasure, the excitement of youth, the shock of middle age, & the fact that our passionsbe they food, or friendship, or musicnever go away, they just evolve & grow along with us

Back in the band's heyday, Elizabeth put on a snarl over her Midwestern smile, Andrew let his unwashed hair grow past his chin, & Zoe was the lesbian all the straight women wanted to sleep with Now nearing fifty, they all live within shouting distance in the same neighborhood deep in gentrified Brooklyn, & the trappings of the adult world seem to have arrived with ease But the summer that their children reach maturity (and start sleeping together), the fabric of the adult lives suddenly begins to unravel, & the secrets & revelations that are finally let looseabout themselves, & about the famous fourth band member who soared & fell without themcan never be reclaimed
Straub packs wisdom & insight & humor together in a satisfying book about neighbors & nosiness, ambition & pleasure, the excitement of youth, the shock of middle age, & the fact that our passionsbe they food, or friendship, or musicnever go away, they just evolve & grow along with us
